please, won’t you stay a while?
MARCH 18, 2009
Hello lovely.
I’ve been waiting tirelessly for you. There was one point, a very low point – almost flooded with tears, that I thought you might not ever come. So I decided to be proactive – I publicly voiced my concerns and my fears. People talked like you were coming, but I am not so easy to sway. I need proof – hard evidence. And today, you provided just that. It was too good to be true – I drank ice tea, put on my shades, read a magazine and basked in your glory. I even pulled out the truest sign of confidence, my flip-flops. I have been told, this utopia I relished in today is not here to stay. I was fearful of this, but I ask that if you must leave, please….oh pretty please do not be gone long. Or else I will have return to my old ways – grumpy, irritated and with deeper trust issues.
I will patiently wait for you return,
Lindsay

You know we still really miss you two in Switzerland, there’s been a hole since you and Andreas left that still hasn’t been filled. Though I’m still hoping that we can tag-team one day and the four of us take a trip together some day before we have more responsibilties tying us down?

I ache for Geneva and the people there at least once a week. I know Andreas and I would love to take a trip with you and Katie someday -even if we had responsibilities grandparents and nannies are a wonderful thing- now we all need is timing. Hope all is well, maybe a phone date soon.
